The Breath of Life and Nature in Scotland

16/10/2018    

In Scotland

From the gusts of the Highlands to the ocean spray, take a deep breath

Little by little Scotland ensconces itself in our hearts and souls. The Scottish beauty and charm is gently finding its way into our beings. From the joie de vivre in the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow to the awe-inspiring landscapes and coasts of the Hebrides, Orkney or Shetland, this country invokes a wide range of emotional responses all the while leaving a great sense of tranquility. We love to create tailor-made itineraries that include cities, valleys, fjords, estuaries and coasts by taking buses, trains, ferries and walking paths. These trips become a collection of real little journeys, quickly evolving changes of scenery leaving you with still and haunting images. So when are you leaving for Scotland?

Myanmar – From temple to stupa, mountains to rivers, hill tribes to the plains peoples

24/01/2018    

In Myanmar

Go back for centuries with its fascinating history and discover a cultural mix of incredible richness

Myanmar is an irresistible country with its great cultural richness, however it can also rouse a negative response with its well-known internal political situation. Majestic sites like Bagan, Inle Lake, or Mandalay; a multitude of ethnicities that can be found along peaceful backroads; beautiful temples: all this invites you to this meditative journey. By spending your money in its local economy you will help support this friendly population and encourage further the recent political changes. One thing is certain, you must definitely go to Myanmar.

Due to political reasons in Burma we are not able to propose trips for the moment.

Then onto Viñales and Trinidad to explore what they have to offer, then head north to Varadero and its chilled atmosphere. And finally back to Havana for a last concert!
